Looking at the connection of Emotional Pain and Physical Diseases - Podcast teachings below by Dr. Henry Wright and Sid Roth.
What causes emotional pain? This article is going to address the connect o emotional pain and physical diseases. A broken heart, wounded spirit through betrayal, loss, divorce, causes emotional pain symptoms. Losing a loved one, struggling with job woes, or having our lives shattered with a horrible divorce are just some of the catalysts that can create a broken heart / wounded spirit.
You know when you have a broken heart from a painful experience. Some of the symptoms of a broken heart are feeling emotionally heavy, feeling physical and emotional pain in your chest – heartache, depression, etc.
It can also be a result of disappointment, fear, or guilt, neglect, abuse, abandonment, or loss of a parent(s).
This tends to worsen when you replay and relive painful, traumatic events that occurred in the past.
Another factoris growing up in a home where love is conditional, and a child had to perform to feel loved, possibly never truly feeling loved or accepted. What results is trying to be perfect or in control of others, the environment, and so on. These individuals grow up driven to feel accepted in everything they do, whether at work, at home, or elsewhere. They are never able to rest.
Many times, this type of person will fall into false burden bearing or false responsibility for others to avoid their emotional pain symptoms. These people are stuffing their emotions down.
Emotional pain can become crippling when it affects your mood, relationships, personal and professional life, and occupies your mind constantly and cause physical illness if a person is not able to get on the other side of a wounded heart.
There are both hidden sources and observable pathways by which many diseases enter our lives. The secret source is the place in our hearts where we choose (often unwittingly) to depart from that graced place of trust and love which God intended to be our true inner life.
How can my emotions affect my health? Emotional Pain Symptoms
Your body responds to the way you think, feel, and act. This is often referred to as the "mind-body connection. When you are stressed, anxious, or upset, your body tries to tell you that something isn’t right. For example, high blood pressure or a stomach ulcer might develop after a particularly stressful event, such as the death of a loved one. The following can be physical signs that your emotional health is out of balance:
Back pain
Change in appetite
Chest pain
Constipation or diarrhea
Dry mouth
Extreme tiredness
General aches and pains
Headaches
High blood pressure
Insomnia (trouble sleeping)
Lightheadedness
Palpitations (the feeling that your heart is racing)
Sexual problems
Shortness of breath
Stiff neck
Sweating
Upset stomach (acid reflux)
Weight gain or loss
Multiple Chemical sensitivity
